The St. Lawrence Vikings men's basketball team jumped into a tie for third in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association East Division after a big 70-67 win over the George Brown Huskies in Toronto on Saturday.

The win came one day after the Vikings (9-5) had a five-game winning streak snapped with a loss in Barrie against the Georgian Grizzlies.

Against George Brown, Vikings' Terence Thomas hit a three-pointer in the dying seconds to break a tie. George Brown then hit what it thought was a three, but was ruled a two.

That forced the Huskies into a must-foul situation, and St. Lawrence connected to win. The Vikings had only eight players available for the win.

"It was a pretty good win," coach Barry Smith said. "We played two games in 23 hours and (George Brown) didn't play (Friday) night. It took a lot out of us."

Jean Beugre led the Vikings with 16 points.

The Vikings host the second-place Algonquin Thunder on Wednesday night at 8 at the St. Lawrence Gym.
